Agitated sleep??

My baby is 8 weeks old. He sleeps calmly and quietly during the day. Night time is different. His sleep is deep but agitated. He moves around a lot: he will pull his legs up and his arms will flail ... He also puts his hands in his face... It will sometimes wake him up. He also grunts a lot and make loud noises... He has done that since the first weeks but It's seems to be getting more intense... It is very hard to sleep next to him at night specially when it gets clise to feedings or morning.

Is he the only one? Is this normal?

Ftm here...

My ds never did this till last night. We ended up I swaddling him and letting him sleep on his tummy. I think it was gas, but he was fine all day. His 2 month appointment is on Monday so I'll see what pedi says. My dd never did this, infact we swaddled her till she was 5 months!

my dd does that all the time. I actually find it funny to watch her in her sleep, moving and making all these noises. this is one of the reasons I put her in her crib in her own room at about 2 weeks and just suck it up and go into her room when she wakes up. having her next to me was definitely more convenient, but I wasn't getting any sleep. she is 7w1d and I stopped swaddling her around 2 weeks, because she would just break out of it...she loves sleeping all spread out.

Of course I'm not a doctor so this is just my opinion but I think it's fairly normal. Just follow up with your doctor. I'm not a FTM but I do remember when I was and everything concerned me. Try to relax...you are being a good mom though paying attention to different details. It will all be okay.

it is normal for babies to move around in their sleep, since when they are this young they don't have complete control over their limbs yet. it should settle down when they are in a deep sleep and when they get a little older. but, if you're really concerned about it, I would call your doctor.
